For the top photo, I used the origami paper to fold a heart. It also happens to be the perfect size for a drink coaster. Directions for the heart can be found at Origami Club.

Printable: Speech Bubble Origami Paper

Posted on August 31, 2015 by Jessica Okui

This week’s printable was inspired by comic books. I decided to leave out the common images associated with comic books. Instead, the paper features speech bubbles and dots. This way the paper is more versatile. I also like that you can write your own words in the bubbles. This origami paper lends itself well to folded envelopes and notes. For the envelope pictured above, I found the directions at Craft Studios.

Printable: Sun and Cloud Origami Paper

Posted on August 24, 2015 by Jessica Okui

A couple of weeks ago I asked what origami prints you would like to see next. Rin recommended “baby prints suitable for a nursery”. I must admit, this was a challenge for me. When I think of a nursery, I see pastels and animals. However, I know nursery rooms are more contemporary now featuring greys and chevron prints. That said, I think these sun and cloud prints meets somewhere in the middle.

I made two versions of the origami paper: blue and purple clouds. Links below for the free download.

Last week I asked what new origami prints all of you would like to see. Michelle from Mich L. in L.A. suggested a vine print. As a result, I made a vine and leaf print with a blue and purple color palette.
